Yeah, explanation isn't necessary. It's more of a legal loophole argument, and essentially "try to sue us we have more money than you" mentality.

Damn, 26 people, let's assume they get paid reasonably well, though they probably aren't all developers. I'm going to assume 100K on average, just spit balling.
That's two and a half million dollars per year to build a terminal (very conservative estimate). And, like, does it reeeeealy do more then other terminals? Especially when you include different shells with plugins? AI, it's so hot right now, but it is better than zsh or fish autocomplete? I built the simplest AI shell script to ask GPT-4 questions, easy, many FOSS options already out there, is that not good enough for people?
Yeah, I'm just having trouble figuring out how this isn't a waste of time and will implode when seed funding dries up.
I will never be able to get behind a subscription-based terminal, with so much competition in the FOSS space for terminals, there's just no reason to.
Analytics software like that has made my professional life so annoying at many times.
As someone who has seen quite a lot of illusions, I haven't seen this one yet somehow. Very interesting.

In my personal experience I have gotten much more praise from Big Corp company when the work I did was more visible to management. The best work I've ever done was completely ignored because it was more technical and difficult for management to understand what the work was about.
And it wasn't just about explaining the work, it just wasn't that interesting to people who aren't technical.
It was after getting an award for doing some extremely easy work, that I realized that it's much more important that you communicate what you do, than actually doing useful work. And this sucks real bad, because if you do good work, it means you have to spend a bunch of time outside of that work just explaining it and acting like it's a big deal, and you can easily beat the system by overrepresenting easy work, because you have a lot more time to explain what you did.
Just my experience with my Big Corp, it may not be quite like that everywhere.

Fediverse is old-school internet! With some twists of course, but having new school social media in a decentralized way is great. The good & bad thing is there's a higher filter for getting on, so people here are nerdy and techy, but most 'normals' might not take the time.
Looking at it pessimistically the documentation is simply going to be gpt reading the latest code commits and breaking down the changes in a "documented changes" doc lol.
